Huang Baodong, a 49-year-old businessman, and his daughter prepared a five-metre banner carrying the message "Chairman Lien is welcome to visit the mainland."

Huang told China Daily that he wanted to express respect on behalf of Nanjing's 6 million residents for Lien's decision to make the mainland trip.

"It is really not easy for him to fly to Nanjing from Taiwan despite the short distance," Huang said.
